Why is professional AC cleaning important in Dubai homes and offices?

Dubai’s climate creates constant high humidity inside AC systems, which encourages microbial growth. Without proper cleaning, AC units can circulate contaminants throughout indoor spaces.

How is Saniservice different from standard AC cleaning companies in the UAE?

Most AC cleaners focus on visible dust. Saniservice follows a scientific indoor environmental remediation process that targets microbial sources, moisture behavior, and airflow contamination.

Is AC mould common in Dubai buildings?

Yes. Due to year-round AC use, high humidity, and sealed buildings, AC-related microbial growth is extremely common in Dubai residential and commercial properties.

Why does simple AC duct cleaning often fail to solve air quality issues?

Duct cleaning alone does not address coils, drain pans, humidity imbalance, or microbial reservoirs. Without correcting these, contamination quickly returns.

How does Saniservice assess whether an AC system is contaminated?

We begin with system inspection and risk assessment, examining moisture patterns, airflow paths, and areas prone to microbial growth rather than relying on visual assumptions.

Why is fogging not an effective AC disinfection method?

Fogging treats air temporarily but does not remove contamination from coils, drains, or surfaces where microbes grow. It masks symptoms without solving root causes.

Can bleach be used safely inside AC systems?

Bleach fails because it does not penetrate biofilms, can corrode components, and does not correct humidity conditions that allow regrowth.

How does humidity affect AC hygiene in the UAE climate?

Humidity is the primary driver of microbial growth. Without addressing moisture behavior inside the system, cleaning alone will not deliver lasting results.

What does “medical-grade AC disinfection” actually mean?

It refers to controlled cleaning and disinfection methods aligned with indoor environmental health standards, not perfumes or cosmetic sanitizers.

How does Saniservice verify that AC cleaning was effective?

Where required, we use pre- and post-intervention validation methods to confirm that contamination levels have been meaningfully reduced.

Is AC cleaning necessary even if there is no visible mould?

Yes. Microbial contamination often exists inside coils and drains long before visible signs appear, especially in Dubai’s climate.

How often should AC systems be cleaned in Dubai?

Frequency depends on usage, humidity levels, and building type, but most UAE properties require more frequent intervention than cooler climates.

Can poor AC hygiene affect health?

Contaminated AC systems can circulate microbial fragments and irritants that may worsen respiratory symptoms and indoor comfort.

Why does Saniservice sometimes clean less than other companies?

Our methodology focuses on correct intervention. We avoid unnecessary disturbance that can spread contamination or damage system components.

Is this service suitable for villas, apartments, and commercial buildings?

Yes. The same scientific principles apply across residential, commercial, and sensitive environments in the UAE.

How does Saniservice handle AC cleaning in occupied spaces?

We use controlled procedures designed to minimize disruption and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleaning.

What role does airflow play in AC contamination?

Improper airflow allows moisture and particles to settle, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth inside the system.

Can AC cleaning reduce recurring odours?

Yes, when odours are caused by microbial growth or trapped moisture, addressing the source eliminates the problem rather than masking it.

Why is source identification important before disinfection?

Disinfection without understanding the cause leads to recurrence. Our process identifies why contamination formed in the first place.

Who should consider Saniservice’s AC cleaning and disinfection service?

Clients in Dubai who prioritize verified indoor air quality, occupant health, and long-term building performance rather than superficial cleaning.

Could mold from last month's rain be causing my family's coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in the master bedroom closet. My kids have been complaining of persistent coughs and sniffles ever since we moved all our clothes and shoes inside after the rain. Could this be due to mold or poor ventilation? What can I do to improve the air quality in my home?

Could mold from last month's rain be causing my family's coughs?

It is entirely possible that the lingering musty smell and the recent cold-like symptoms your kids have been experiencing could be linked to moisture and mold growth, especially after the heavy rains. In Dubai, humidity levels can fluctuate significantly, making homes susceptible to these issues.

Firstly, you need to inspect for visible signs of water damage or mold. Mold thrives in damp environments like bathrooms, kitchens, and crawl spaces. However, since your issue is specific to a closet in the master bedroom, it's crucial to check if there are any signs of moisture or water stains on walls, ceilings, or around windows. If you find any, it’s important to address them promptly.

In the UAE, especially during such weather events, ensuring adequate ventilation is key. Poor indoor air quality can be exacerbated by a lack of proper airflow, which allows humidity and mold spores to build up. Consider using dehumidifiers in areas prone to moisture if you cannot open windows due to the climate or conditions outside.

If you suspect mold growth but are unsure about its extent or how to handle it safely, I recommend calling a professional for an inspection. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice (Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) specialize in such assessments and can provide the necessary solutions.

Regular cleaning with appropriate products can also help reduce mold growth. Use a solution of water and detergent to clean affected areas, but remember always to wear protective gear like gloves and masks during these tasks.

Lastly, ensure your home's air conditioning system is properly maintained. During cooler months or when using ACs less frequently, changing the filters regularly and having an annual check-up can prevent mold growth in the ventilation ducts.

Taking these steps will not only improve the indoor air quality but also protect you and your family’s health.
